I'd think so, yes.

Not sure whether that's following best practice but here is
how paster/zopeskel generate this at the moment (this is taken
from a custom add-on I'm currently working on):

ritz at ritz-laptop:~/dev/paster/incf.applications/trunk$ ls
docs  incf  incf.applications.egg-info  README.txt  setup.cfg  setup.py

ritz at ritz-laptop:~/dev/paster/incf.applications/trunk$ ls docs
HISTORY.txt  INSTALL.txt  LICENSE.GPL  LICENSE.txt

How do others handle this?
